Landmark achievements in IT security are happening at NYU Abu Dhabi. For the first time, researchers have developed a computer chip with security implemented at the lowest possible level, the hardware level.

The key to coral reef survival could lie here in the Arabian Gulf. NYU Abu Dhabi sits about a kilometer away from a massive reef that's trying to survive some of the most extreme environmental conditions in the world.

The portable and affordable device is capable of amplifying a genetic marker of the Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli in just 20 minutes using a technique called loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP).

Research for a Globalized World

NYU Abu Dhabi’s unique location makes it an ideal headquarters for social science researchers conducting fieldwork all over the world to better understand global societies past and present. For example, the Center for Technology and Economic Development is working on cutting-edge technologies that can improve life for thousands of farmers and traders in Ghana.
